Wednesday 4/15

Boerne Radio Sports- brought to you by the Carlson Law Firm.

We talked about Geneva tennis being at state yesterday… well they had quite an outing. The girls become state champions after a dominating performance. The boys finished in 2nd place in rankings, capping off a great season for Tennis. Congrats to all the athletes who participated and a well-deserved finish. 

The Charger boys golf team also qualified for state in 3rd place, right behind Smithson Valley and McAllen Memorial. So they will be playing for state gold in a few days time. 

Sticking with the golf theme, the RBC Heritage will tee off from South Carolina this weekend. Among those in the field is Justin Thomas who won in 2025. The purse is $20 million and it all begins tomorrow. 

And the Spurs know who their first round opponent is- the Portland Trailblazers after Portland defeated the Phoenix Suns last night. So Round 1 will begin Sunday at 8 in San Antonio.

Boerne Radio Sports -Wednesday, April 15, 2026

 

It’s Tuesday April 14th. 

 

And it was on this date in 1912 when the unsinkable RMS Titanic sunk.   The last living survivor Millvina Dean from England was the youngest passenger on board.  She died at the age of 97 in 2009.  She had no memory of the event because she was only 9 weeks old.

And a special Happy Birthday to Annie Walther over at Crestmont Private Wealth, William Rice and Alessandra Soltis.

 

Bandera County has declared Highway 46 as inadequate by elected leaders due to a high number of deaths and crashes. At last week’s commissioner's court meeting, County Judge Richard Evans and the board unanimously approved a resolution demanding that TxDOT formally respond with a definitive timeline to make safety improvements to the road.  In the last 10 years, there have been well over 500 crashes, ending in 13 deaths and 44 injuries, with more than half of the fatalities caused by head on collisions. TxDOT spokeswoman Jennifer Serold says that safety is the organization's top priority, and that they will continue to work with local officials to improve Highway 46. 

 

Yesterday morning was Miss Constance’s last day at the Patrick Heath Public Library after more than 20 years. She first began as a youth services assistant but quickly became a staple in the kid’s department with her weekly story time. Hundreds gathered for her retirement party-students and parents left heartfelt messages about her legacy and impact on the community.  But one thing that won’t come to an end is her reading to your kids every Saturday morning at 7:45 here on Boerne Radio.

 

And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced yesterday, with a few Boerne Radio favorites featured on the list. On November 14th, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan will be inducted. 

 

And in another Hall of Fame, congrats to Boerne Radio’s Production Manager Roland Ruiz who got the call that he will be inducted into the San Antonio Radio Hall of Fame.   Not only do you hear Roland’s voice on Boerne Radio, you hear him as the arena announcer for your San Antonio Spurs, and stadium announcer for the San Antonio Missions.  Congratulations Roland - we’re so very proud of you.

And by Singing Water Vineyards and if you love the Beatles, you need to be in Comfort this Saturday to see The Fab Five.  singingwater.com is where you get your tickets - and we’ll see you there.
